Volume/Disk Scan
5.6 Volume/Disk Scan
Volume/Disk scan is especially useful for disk diagnostics and
repairs lost or cross linked clusters in Volume/Disk. All readable
data will be placed in new clusters and defective cluster will
mark as bad in the file system. All the newly added devices will
be scanned before usage to ensure the data integrity in the
NAS Server.
Select the volumes or disks you want to scan, click
Scan Now
button to start scanning. Or, click Schedule to set the time for
NAS Server to perform scanning at the scheduled time.
Disk Auto-scanning
To make sure that the hard disks contain no bad sectors before
putting into use, it is suggested to perform disk-scanning before
taking such actions as creating a volume, expanding a
volume, migrating data or assigning a hot-spare disks. If disk
auto-scanning is enabled, the NAS server can scan disks
automatically when you perform these actions. If the hard disks
have ever been scanned in the last 30 days, the auto-scanning
will be skipped so that the auto-scanning will not be activated
too often.
To enable the feature, please click the
Configure hyperlink on
the Volume Scan page. Set the Disk Auto-scanning item to
Enabled .
